Absolutely, I think the book would make a great Movie! We could use another "Gone With The Wind". LoL Have you read the Novel, "The March" by E.L. Doctorow ? The book offer a panoptic view of one of the most notorious military campaigns in U.S. history. The story line is about General W.T. Sherman's march. A cronical of the great and hated general's scorched-earth campaign across the South. It gave me insight to how really terrible life was at the end of the Civil War.
